The 2024 Schools Spectacular was an unforgettable celebration of talent, creativity, and teamwork, and Kirrawee High School was proud to play a part in this iconic event. This year’s show, held over two spectacular nights, brought together thousands of students from across the state to showcase the best of public education. The theme for 2024, All 4 One, was all about looking forward, supporting one another, and was centred around unity, connection, and working as one for a common goal. Our students truly embodied these values both on and off the stage.
Kirrawee High School was represented by an incredible group of talented performers who dedicated countless hours to rehearsals and preparation. Despite enduring sweltering heat during rehearsals, their commitment and determination never wavered, and their hard work culminated in breathtaking performances on the big stage.
Max Fernandez shone as a Featured Artist, captivating the audience with multiple solo performances that highlighted his incredible vocal range and emotional depth. Max delivered show-stopping moments that left the audience in awe. His ability to connect with the crowd and command the stage was truly remarkable, making him a standout performer of the evening.
Chris Butler and Matilda Bradley wowed the crowd as members of the prestigious Spec Band, playing the saxophone with skill and passion.
As Year 12 students, this year marked their final Schools Spectacular performance. Their dedication to their craft and the hours spent rehearsing have been truly inspirational, and the school is incredibly proud of the legacy they leave behind
